10 Down and 18 to Go!
It's still too early to project a winner with high confidence, but a couple trends are worth noting. Freiley is in the best shape right now with the most total points and the most points remaining if he were to win out. That's unlikely (same for all of us). So here are the key match-ups were many points hang in the balance either way:
Colorado / UTEP with a spread of 41 points between players.
OSU / OSU with a spread of 47
BC / UNC spread = 37
Bama / Minn = 34
Purdue / ASU = 44
Louisville / Boise State = 46
Florida / FSU = 40
Tenn / A&M = 44
FSU / WV = 47
LSU / Iowa = 48
USC / Oklahoma = 56
So as you can see, it really starts to get interesting as the New Year's Day games approach. There are some major point swings out there to be had. Obviously the National Title Game looms large, but so do a few others like Florida / FSU, Iowa / LSU, TENN / A&M, and WV / FSU. Plus, don't forget how things unfolded last year when Larson snuck up on all of us over the last 13 games.
